这题有争议,新版OG支持D,原大全答案为C。新版OG认为C中的they指代不清,可以是games也可以是states。原大全认为根据常识Olympic Games肯定在停火协议之后举行,所以D不对。当然以OG说的为准啦。
新版OG的解释如下:
This sentence depends on using the correct conjunction to join two independent clauses. In that is a conjunction that means inasmuch as; because in that has largely gone out of use, it is considered stilted and overly formal. It also uses two words when one would do. In this sentence, the second clause explains the first one, so the conjunction for; meaning because, is the most appropriate choice for joining the tow independent clauses of the compound sentence.
A. In that is stilted and overly formal
B. It is not clear who would be doing the proclaiming; a clause is preferable to a phase here
C. They is ambiguous, possibly referring to either the states or the Games
D. Correct. In this sentence, the conjunction for joins the two clauses correctly and economically
E Wordy and awkward construction
